"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."
Genesis 1:1-5
It's kind of mind-boggling to imagine the earth "without form, and void" or a time before the heavens, but trying I think helps us learn a healthy respect for God, whose creations are innumerable, and whose power is beyond our imagination. Thankfully, he is also our Father, and loves us equally immeasurably, so that we have support and love and guidance as we strive to live up to our potential.
Today, maybe we should think on the first day of all days and start our own first day similarly, for "God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." (1 John 1:5). Let's fill our hearts and our lives with the spiritual light of God this year, whether night or day, or struggling through mists of darkness. He not only has vast powers of creation, but he also "has all power to save every man that believeth on his name and bringeth forth fruit meet for repentance" (Alma 12:15).
